The recent rape and murder of a 22-year-old daughter of an Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer in Southeast Delhi, allegedly by their domestic help, has highlighted the importance of background checks for domestic workers. Delhi Police data reveals that they verify approximately 100-125 domestic helps daily, a process made mandatory to enhance safety in homes. Although the verification process has led to a decline in such crimes over the past decade, incidents still occur, often linked to robbery or personal grievances. Employers can apply for police verification either online or through local police stations, requiring detailed information and documentation. This verification process helps deter crime and supports police investigations if a domestic worker commits an offense. Many individuals also choose to hire domestic workers through agencies that conduct thorough background checks, adding an extra layer of safety.
